San Diego Chargers OT Brandyn Dombrowski will likely play the majority of the team's Week 6 game against the St. Louis Rams, with OT Marcus McNeill splitting some time at the position, according to The San Diego Union-Tribune's Kevin Acee. "I think it would be real difficult (for McNeill) to go in and play (a full game)," head coach Norv Turner said. "He's worked for three weeks. It is like having training camp and then going out and playing 60 plays your first game. That is a challenge. So, we need to evaluate that over the next couple days and have a plan for what we are going to do there."
